Nematodes against cutworms – Biological and Effective Control

Cutworms are the larvae of various moth species, such as the black-brown cutworm (Agrotis ipsilon). These larvae cause great damage to gardens and crops by feeding at night on the stems and roots of young plants. This can lead to wilted plants, broken stems and ultimately the death of the crop. It is important to combat cutworms effectively and in an environmentally friendly way. What are nematodes against cutworms? Nematodes (Steinernema carpocapsae) are microscopic worms that are used biologically against cutworms. These nematodes penetrate the larvae of the cutworm through natural openings and secrete bacteria that are deadly to the larvae. Within a few days the cutworms die, preventing further damage to the plants.

How do nematodes work against cutworms?

The nematodes actively search for cutworm larvae in the soil. Once they penetrate a larva, they secrete bacteria that fatally infect the caterpillar. Within a few days, the larva dies, and the nematodes multiply in the dead caterpillar to infect other larvae. This biological process ensures that the cutworm plague is quickly brought under control.
